Good steak and great atmosphere. Even if you're not a fan (Go Steelers) it was terrific to eat and enjoy memorabilia at a future Hall of Famer's steakhouse. The food and service is what you'd expect at a fine steakhouse. Not if things changed after he left for Minnesota - the Packers' sworn enemy.

I have had a lot better steak for my money.
Service was so,so.
It was close to my hotel. That's the only reason I went -

Could be one of the worst steakhouse I have been too. I think once Favre left town they should of closed this down. Coming from Chicago, I don't really have a negative image of the player himself but at least expected a good atmosphere and good meal. After all, he has a street named after him there. But, I feel once he left town die hard packer fans began to boycott this place which in turn left the food to go downhill. I'm guessing with less customers they have had to cut back on quality of service and food. The Prime Rib was extremely dry requiring lots of extra sauce and the steak was cooked nice but needed some extra seasoning. I hope they can survive as they have a great location but the quality needs to be better. Maybe they should rename it Rodgers Steakhouse?

I love the atmosphere and the food is amazing! I am a big fan of the Friday Fish Fry, reasonably priced and all you can eat. I will for sure be back. I hope Brett never closes this restaurant.

Allow me to be the first to not offer my opinion of Brett Favre and actually talk about the restaurant.
It's hard to really offer much positive on this place as the service was so, so poor. Our waitress, Kassaundra, never offered specials to us, never presented the cuts of beef to our table (we learned of these things through the later tables around us that were served by others) and barely glanced our way leaving us thirsty and unattended to. The first 30 minutes of our visit we were left with no cocktails and only received our salads 50 minutes after we were seated!
I ordered a $14.00 Valentines Day special salad - lobster, crab and avocado salad. It arrived as a gelatinous sea of mayo with pita squares. I couldn't even get a visual on the seafood. The menu offered it as a salad, making no mention of mayo or pita. I did return it to the kitchen and waited the painful 35 more minute until our entrees arrived. The other diners in my party greatly enjoyed the Brett Favre Chophouse salad.
The Chicken Parm got an "ok". The London Broil tasted "strange" to another diner, the salmon was overcooked but the Ribeye was fantastic.
Food: Mediocre quality overall.
Service: Exceptionally poor.
Decor: Very interesting. -

I pain to give this place such a terrible review but it deserves it. We went on a Sunday and they had a 3 course dinner for $30. We had never been here before so we were fine with that. I had a salad and he had a soup. You can't go wrong with a ceaser(?) salad and it was pretty good. The soup, however, was not. I had the Brett Favre steak and it was way to chewy. I like my steak medium well and it was a little too rare and I just didn't enjoy it. The waitress was very attentive but it couldn't make up for the poor quality and taste in the food. Skip it.

There isn't much to draw you in to this place, and everything seems a little bit too expensive. I'd go to their pre-game all you can eat/drink but they have the same deal all over the parking lot.
The decor is stuffy and it all feels very forced, but it is an impressive building with good exterior landscaping and some of the best ashtrays you'll find in the city.
The food is slightly above average but the portion sizes are most certainly below average.
BRETT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A PACKER TO ME AND MY LOVELY WIFE BRENDA MAE. -

In Green Bay for a football game, go to Farve's Steak House. You'll find it when you see the line!!
Farve's is a great hang out place. and they serve up delicious steaks. They over cook there shrimp, but shrimp is kinda foreign to them. It would be like me milking a cow.
However, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service was very good. In Green Bay......... Go There! -

Although Brett is no longer there (he is still part owner), this place still has a great vibe and some Packer trophys and photos throughout the bar area.
I came here on a weeknight and sat in the bar area. Good choice as you can choose from the full dining menu or from the bar-only menu. The bar menu has some sandwich options including a rib-eye steak sandwich which is a good option if you don't want to eat an entire 20 oz from the dining menu, you can enjoy an 8 oz steak with bread and one side (it comes with fries, but they let me switch to a baked tater no extra). Besides steaks and chicken, the dining menu also has some cajun items from Brett's childhood like jambalaya and cajun shrimp pasta.
Waitstaff were super friendly and efficient. I like this place. Oh, and they have a special Brett Favre Leinenkugel draft which I think is their red relabled, but still good.
NOTE: Come here on game day for the tailgate experience.... $25 all you can eat and drink for 3 hours before game time. You can't beat this bargain, and you will get to meet some great fans. I'm from out of town, so this made tailgating a real no hassle experience. -

My steak was cold and a doneness level under what I had ordered. It was served up juicy on a cold hotplate just like a Brett Favre interception. Their music rotation featured Bad, Eye of the Tiger, a dance cover of MacArthur Park, and other 80s cheeseball hits. I asked if this was a rotation from Favre's personal mp3 player but was told it was a radio station feed. Not the station that's playing in Favre's car.
Those of you calling this an amazing place need to get some perspective outside of Green Bay. -

How can you go to Green Bay and NOT go to Brett Farve's Steakhouse..this IS Brett Farve's town..even if he's not on the Packers anymore. Besides, really, what else could you possibly be doing in Green Bay if you're not there for something somewhat Packer related?
Service & Decor.
The tacky outside Packer themed color decor makes this place look cheap and cheesy, especially with a gift shop?! but the inside has a nice old steakhouse look, plus the Farve memorabilia. It didn't bother me too much because I enjoyed my company so I wasn't staring at the walls, but I'm not going to lie, the man is EVERYWHERE, but what do you expect the place is named "BRETT FARVE's STEAKHOUSE"?!?! Our waitress was very friendly, poor girl had to hold a 10 pound platter of meats while she gave a 5 min memorized speech about how its prepared or what it means..that in itself deserves an additional star. +1 star!
Food&Presentation.
Food is ok. If my prime rib wasn't one giant piece of raw meat tossed onto a barely large enough plate, maybe it would've been better because at least my eyes would have been pleased. The salmon was better and at least had some garnish. Dessert was the best, the pyramid looking warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream definitely hit the spot. The drinks were good (especially the manager's specials). Sweets and Alcohol, I'm satisfied. +1star!
Would I come here again? Probably not, if I'm ever in Green Bay again, I don't think I'll come again just because it was more of a tourist thing to me, but if this is the only nice steakhouse in town, then I'll be back.
With Crab cake appetizers(I don't recommend - there were 2 the size of a gold dollar), Prime Rib and Salmon Entree, 1 cocktail (nice man gave us a coupon to comp the 2nd cocktail), dessert = $80 bill..that's cheap!! +1 star!
For all you cheeseheads out there, there are better steaks to be had outside of dairy country....but I understand you gota work with what you got. -

Nice. Classy. Great Burgers.
I am not a Packers fan. I am a Bears fan. I saw through the hostilities and had a great time at Brett Favre's. I went on a tour of Lambeau with the family and had to eat somewhere unique to Green Bay. We asked the locals and everyone said Brett Favre's was the best. They were right.
This is not a typical sports bar by any means. It is a well-established, classy, and relaxing place. The giant burger was exactly that GIANT. However, I did not have trouble finishing it because we were so hungry after the Lambeau tour.
Five stars. This is coming from a Bears fan. So, it really is THAT good. -

Can't really be a Favre fan and a Packers fan, from California, come all the way out for a game and not dine at the Man's restaurant, can you? Nope so we hit twice in one day.
First trip was for the Pre-game tailgate party. For a set fee its all the food and beer you can consume, in one low price. Nothing like Brats and MGD for breakfast! People in WIS are not small either so you can imagine the consumption taking place. The brats here were just so-so but you can't expect much from a buffet trying to serve 1000 people. The beer was ice cold and kept coming so that was all that was really needed.
Next visit came after the Pack beat the Lions. We needed some dinner and thought, what the hell, lets go back. The steaks are HUGE here. They have 3 or 4 sizes of Prime Rib and they are basically Big, Bigger, and Biggest. I got a medium sized one and enjoyed it thoroughly. A man at the table next to me ordered the largest size and I could not believe how large it was. It should come with an award of a free meal if you down it all, it was that big.
The staff said Brett is a regular there with his family (not an abundance of choices in GB anyway) but they usually are in a private dining room. My biggest complaint would be that I ordered a baked potato and it comes with cheese. Well, we're in WIS so the cheese has to be pretty damn good huh? Not this cheese. I swear it was a pre-shredded KRAFT mix out of a ziploc bag. Very disappointing. My wife agreed. You could totally taste the fakeness. Regardless, great day, great tailgate, great dinner, can't wait to return. -

We had dinner at Brett Favre's Steakhouse the night of a Packer game for which we started tailgating at 9:30 in the morning. So my experience is a little fuzzy.
I do recall my steak coming out medium well and having to send it back. I also remember our 17 year old waitress (who would have been overwhelmed at Applebee's) apologizing too profusely on multiple occassions. I also distinctly remember a tile dropped-in ceiling at a restaurant where I was paying upwards of of $45 for a steak.
On top of that, Packers fans now HATE Brett Favre. I lost count of the #4 jerseys I saw with Traitor or Judas written on the back.
The bar was alright. Why is this place still open? -

I couldn't agree more about having to make a stop at Brett's restaurant if you are in town for a game. Be prepared for waits of 1-2.5 hours if you come on a home game weekend (they do not take reservations during home games) but it is well worth the wait. I have been fortunate enough to go to two games and we came both times.
The service is very friendly and waiting in the bar area while you put back a few cold ones isn't so bad. The food is pretty good and the portions are definitely large, both times I saw the largest sweet potatoes of my life!
If you are coming in from out of town I would also highly suggest going to the tailgate here on game day . It is an awesome experience to be around so many Packer fans enjoying some good food and drink. -

My overall dining experience was definitely a five star.
I am a big fan of Brett Favre and the Packers. I flew out from Los Angeles, just to watch the game. Prior to the game, I had to stop by Favre's Steakhouse (2005).
Food - 4 Star
My Steak (Signature Steak) was Juicy
My friend's Ribs were fantastic.
Not a fan of French Onion Soup.
The place was designed with lots of Brett Favre's memorabilia and I'm glad I got to experience this. -

My wife wanted to try a steakhouse that 1) wasn't a chain and 2) didn't require you to cook your own steak. We already had tried the Republic Chophouse a few months ago, which outside of the price, was pretty good. I told her that Brett Favre's Steakhouse was good just a bit pricey, not to mention I only had pasta there last time.
We were immediately seated and opened with some oyster Rockefeller, which wasn't too appetizing. Luckily we also ordered a couple of wine samplers, so those held us over along with the bread until our steaks came in.
Within a few minutes of us getting our appetizers, the steaks arrived along with some cream spinach that was runny but delicious.
The steaks were well cooked and very reasonably priced. My wife had the 16 oz prime rib and I took the Brett signature steak, a 20 oz London broil.
We topped it all off with a large piece of carrot cake to satisfy our sweet tooth. 4 Stars!!
(Update) We took a friend and his family there tonight and unfortunately it was a huge mistake. My wife prime rib was cold in the middle and my steak was over done and dry. Not to mention, our waitress was no where to be found and spent the vast majority of her time helping other patrons. This was by far the worst time there. 2 Stars!!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I really love this place for the food and service. I used to be a huge BF fan but not so much anymore. BUT that has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant.
I know better than to go here on a home game, so I came on a quite weekday night (thurs i think). Our service was amazing! The meat tray is really cool and then it was all wrapped up with a dessert cart! you cant eat here without dessert. The food here is really good for the price.
Keep it up! -

Ordered room service at my hotel, this is where the menu is from. Had ordered the following. Shrimp Cocktail, and a Chicken Casadilla.
The shrimp were dried out like they had been sitting around to long. The casadilla was cold and now equally filled, it was supposed to come with olives and sour cream and it never made it to the plate.
It was delivered as promised within a half hour. $6.00 was the total delivery charge and the girl made a comment about the extra $5.00 tip I gave her. I'll take that job any time... I like the fact that there was a bottle of mayo and ketsup and an empty water glass. no napkins, and 2 forks...

This is a review of the banquet reception for a wedding. Lucky for us it was preseason away game. Our table server was pleasant and the staff was very efficient they took care of 26 tables including the wedding party. Each table had around 8 people. The choice for meals were chicken or steak. Everyone was happy at our table. My prime rib steak was medium rare and tender. Vegetables were lightly stir fried and mashed potatoes were delicious. The staff worked well together to clear tables and offering coffee with desert. Beer from tap was clearly better than average cold, clean and fresh. The decor is all Favre. I really didn't expect the same quality of food in the banquet hall. our whole table was impressed. This was a great time for all who attended.

A-fucking-Mazing...Went there for a my good friends wedding. It was catered to the 'T."
Champagne fountain, Bleu cheese puff appetizers, choice of steak, chicken parm, or salmon...I slipped the waitress $10 and got all 3. Everything was amazing. Can't say I sampled the prices or the regular service as it was a wedding. Fun times though.Listed in: Appleton/The Fox Cities, WI

It was a great steak, but Ditka's in Chicago is still a better steakhouse. Go Bears.
